[edit] Host

I changed the host as the special was hosted by Shirley Temple not Drew Barrymoore.

[edit] General title question

Why is the list called 100 Years... 100 Stars when it actually consists of only 50 names?

As far as I know, the explanation was that the series had 50 "screen legends" (the list) presented by 50 current stars, which would result in 100 stars total. It was probably a copout that AFI resulted to after figuring they couldn't call enough people legends with a straight face. I don't have a source though so I won't add it to the article (and the second sentence is original research in any case). - Bobet 13:44, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

If it's 100 Years ... 100 Stars shouldn't the 50 presenters be listed as well (not that some of them are legendary, one was Miss Piggy)? The names are listed on the AFI page but not who presented to who.NevarMaor (talk) 13:44, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sorting Comments

"Men" comes before "Women" alphabetically, and that is how it was originally sorted. Please stop changing it.

Alphabetization of two groups (when the addition of other groups is extremely unlikely to happen) is not particularly important. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Joie de Vivre (talk • contribs) 23:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

Is AFI so snobby that it can't even vote in one modern actor?--Lindsay (talk) 04:31, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Niven

I just can't believe David_Niven isn't on the list =( . Xushi - 20080305:1034 GMT —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xushi (talk • contribs) 10:35, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikitable

I recently changed the wikitable in this article to one matching that of the tables in the other AFI 100 Years... series articles (in fact, I did this with two or three of the articles which weren't tabled at all). I was just wondering if the anon who reverted that edit would please explain why. I feel it best that each of these articles be tabled similarly to ease in the understanding of the information presented therein. Chickenmonkey (talk) 03:07, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
